I don’t understand why Bill Gates still feels the need to do marketing work, he is already rich he doesn’t need to do commercials and blatantingly shill for a product for money like this.
Also the ides that anyone should listen to Bill Gates about needing or not needing government regulation, nationalization or trustbusting is actually insane.
@yesman @supersquirrel well, for one, didn’t ai almost cause an attack on some chinese ship the other day?
I think they are always a mix of exaggeration and truth in these things
Almost did. But that wasn’t “the AI is secretly super smart!!!” it was “the AI hallucinated some bullshit and people nearly forgot to actually fact check it”
@lurker i don’t think power is related to intelligence. Well, actually, yes, but only to get gain our trust. But regardless how AI progress, I do think they are partially honest I remember listening to some interview of a former employee of Anthtropic a week ago who say everyone is afraid. Plus, if you work in AI company, you are going to be biased for AI progress + be part of the echo chamber
Yeah they’re all “honest”, except they’re all living in the rationalist/doomsday echo chamber that massively warps their perspective
@lurker but to be fair, AI company ethics have also been a lot of doublespeak
